As members of the Timber Trade Federation we are signatories to the TTF's Reponsible Purchasing Policy. A copy of our certificate can be downloaded by clicking on the certificate below.

We undertake a risk assessment of our timber purchases for uncertified products to determine the risk that illegally produced timber may be slipping into the supply chain.  Low risk timber is timber where this is a low risk of this happening because of a strong system of regulatory control in the country of origin or the species is from a low risk source such as a plantation.”
 ‘All our timber has been risk-assessed in accordance with the TTF’s RPP commitments.’
